lyrics

One lucid thought
Crashed into my mind
Something I'd avoided for a long time
I don't think you see me as I am

There were no boundaries
We had distance
A line of sight along the lines of least resistance
But I don't think you see me as I am

Well I've got something to say
But it gets in the way of my outsized pride
Whenever I try
They collide
And you’ve got lies on your lips
But there’s truth in the tips of
Your outstretched fingers
Whenever I’m near
So I hear

But I don't think you see me as I am

Well I've got something to say
But it gets in the way of my outsized pride
Whenever I try
They collide
And you’ve got lies on your lips
But there’s truth in the tips of
Your outstretched fingers
Whenever I’m near
So I hear

So now permit me to me to grip
What I used to let slip
And I don't miss much
So we'll stay in touch
If you must

But let's dispense with the myth
That we live to exist
Like a bone and surgeon
There's nothing to mend
No wounds to attend

Well I've got something to say
But it gets in the way of my outsized pride
Whenever I try
They collide
And you’ve got lies on your lips
But there’s truth in the tips of
Your outstretched fingers
Whenever I’m near
So I hear

I don't think you see me as I am
